hype this look on lookbook and chictopia!
I was looking through my old photos in a futile attempt to clean out my files, and through the embarrassing, hilarious and crazy memories, I noticed a couple of things:
1. From 2007 (5 years ago! OMG!) and below, everyone wore jeans everyday– at least at the places I went to! School- blue jeans. Church- blue jeans. Work- blue jeans. Party-blue jeans. Tops were the big players in the market, and jeans were a staple in everyone’s wardrobe. Life was so simple!
2. There was a point in time where everyone had at least one long gold necklace with a pendant hanging below. It was THE accessory du jour, and the more vintage it looked, the better! I remember having one with a maritime emblem and an image of Queen Elizabeth behind it. It was my moms, and I had it on all the time!
3. Cardigans were sort of my thing during college. I had one on me every single school day! I think my love for outerwear started out as a necessity- needing cover ups for air-conditioned classrooms, and post training (I used to be a dancer) comfort. I had cardigans in all colors of the rainbow!
I guess after revisiting all those university photos, I talked myself into reviving my old collegiate fashion habits- blue jeans- check, cardigan- check, long necklace-check! I just added a few trendy styling practices to keep it up to date, like print on print florals and the monochromatic effect to elongate my silhouette.What do you think? “COOL-lege” material? lol (laughed my butt off when I heard Mike say that corny joke!)
What sort of fashionable things did you use to do in the past? 🙂

i love this look.. something you can wear when you’re just starting to be a fashionista. (i think) hehe.. i’m from the province and up to now, if you’re going to wear something like this, everyone would be staring at you in awe. So when I was just in college,… ah you know what I mean. ^^ (and that was way back 2003, haha)
Thanks Yvonne 🙂 Im from the province too and no one stared at me! haha at least I think not! And who cares if they do anyway! As long as you like what youre wearing 🙂
LOL that joke is so corny!! The print on print and the high-waisted jeans are gorgeous, and I really like the colour of your shoes and bag! 🙂 want!
Thanks Annie 🙂 haha

haha cool 🙂
I love the color combination of your outfit
I agree, this outfit speaks COLLEGE — minus the heels of course because it’s hard to go around from building to building.
Before the dress code in school, everyone was in flip flops! That’s what I remember.
Yes!!! that too!
WOWOWOW. Pure chicness! You really know how it’s done, Miss Kryz! 😉
Aww thanks Charisse!
Jeans are still my thing, Kryz. I do change it up a bit and go for trousers, skorts, or palazzo pants once in a while. But cotabato isnt really a place where you can wear revealing pieces and not get stared out , pointed at or worse, insulted for. 🙁
Thats nothing to be sad about! Im sure you look gorge in jeans 🙂
ooooh I love your jeans!!!!! and your heels!!! well, let me just put it this way, I love your outfit! :)) and I hope I can find a pair just like that! 😀
a pair of jeans*
Thanks Reg!!!
love the corset + the jeans combination!

Was this shot at the park in front of Marriot? We used to do our photoshoots there! HAHA.
Haha yes!!!
Jeans have definitely become a part of my outfit habits since I’ve been at university…I like the mix of colours in yours between your heels and your satchel purse. The contrast of floral patterns in nice too. When I was younger, I used to wear a lot of collared shirts…but I’m noticing now that they’re slowly re-entering my wardrobe! Hope you have a good week xx
Thanks Krys! You too!
